Standard Racial Traits
All Sylphs have the following Standard Racial Advantages:
- Attributes: Sylphs may choose to gain one of the following ability score bonus sets when creating their character. No ability score may ever be modified above a 20 or below a 7.
- +2 to two different stats, -2 to one stat
- +2 to one stat, +1 to three different stats, -2 to one stat
- +4 to one stat, -2 to two different stats
- Size: Sylphs are Medium creatures and thus receive no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
- Type: Sylphs have the Humanoid type, with the Sylph subtype.
- Base Speed: Sylphs have a base speed of 30 feet, but their speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance.
- Languages: Sylphs begin play speaking Common and Auran. Sylphs with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Celestial, Cùirteil, Draconic, Issshh, or Jeen. See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages.
- Air Sense(Ex): Sylphs do not 'see' any better or worse than any other races, but they have one remarkable sense. A Sylph can feel the presence of objects and creatures by the air they displace. This is a variant of tremor sense, except it requires air and not ground. Thus, Air Sense does not work underwater or any other places where there is no air. Otherwise, it serves as tremorsense. Air Sense has a range of five feet (the Sylph's space and all adjacent spaces). This range increases to ten feet at tenth level, twenty feet at twentieth level, and thirty feet at thirtieth level.
- Keen Hearing(Ex): Due to their affinity with air, sylphs gain a bonus on sound-based perception checks. This bonus is +1, and increases to +2 if they have ten ranks in Perception, +3 if they have twenty ranks, and +4 if they have thirty ranks
